Later, the name of the state also created one of the Bond series.
James Bond name itself is taken from a Caribbean bird experts who write books Birds of the West Indies. "I want a name that sounds not the most interesting, the most common. I think James Bond is much better than the 'Peregrine Carruthers'.

Bond also have children, but not from Teressa. He had the father of a child born by Kissy Suzuki, as told in You Only Live Twice. In the version Fleming, Bond did not know he was a child. New in Blast From the Past written by Raymond Benson, Bond know.
